Answer:option C is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ladder leans against the wall, it forms a right angle triangle with the wall. The length of the ladder becomes the hypotenuse of the right angle triangle.

Since the length of the ladder is 12 foot, then

Hypotenuse = 12 foot

The angle formed by the ladder with the ground is 75.5 degrees. Therefore, the height, y which is the distance from the point where the ladder touches the wall to the foot of the wall becomes the opposite side. It would be determined by applying trigonometric ratio

Sin θ = opposite side/hypotenuse

Sin 75.5 = y/12

During a building project, a brick is

taurus [48]

The brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.

<h3>What are quadratic equations?</h3>

Given the equation for height as a function of time is h(t) = -16t2 + 1,296

The height of the brick on the ground is h(t) = 0. Substitute h(t) = 0 into the equation as shown:

-16t2 + 1,296 = 0

Subtract 1296 from both sides

-16t² + 1,296 - 1296 = 0 - 1296

16t² = 1296

t² = 1296/16

t² = 81

t = 9secs

Hence the brick will fall to the ground after 9 secs.

Which expression is equivalent to...

olga_2 [115]

Answer:

$8m^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Well we can simplify the numerator, by multiplying the 4 by the 6 and the m^3 and m^4 (add the exponents, explained in one of my previous answers I think)

This gives us the fraction: $\frac{24m^7}{3m^2}$

We can now divide the m^7 by m^2 by subtracting the exponents, and the reason why this works, is you're simply cancelling out the m's, If we express this in expanded form we have the following fraction: $\frac{24 * m * m * m * m * m * m * m}{3 * m * m}$

Since there is two m's in the denominator and there is also two (more than two) m's in the numerator, we can cancel those two m's out, and we get the fraction:

$\frac{24 * m * m * m * m * m}{3}$ which can be simplified in exponent form as: $\frac{24m^5}{3}$ , now all we have to do is divide the 24 by the 3, to get 8

This gives us the answer: $8m^5$

Sixteen less than ten times a number is the same as twice the number. find the number

tatuchka [14]

X = unknown number
10x - 16 = 2x
Subtract 10x from both sides to isolate the variable on the right side of the equation.
-16 = -8x
Divide both sides by -8 to get x alone.
2 = x
